The rate is 0.8 percent less than June 2010, but there are still 982,000 unemployed workers in a work force of more than 9.23 million. Florida added 4,300 jobs in June, much less than the 28,000 gained in May, when the state led the nation in job creation. So far this year, the Sunshine State has added 85,500 jobs.
